Dutch magazine, Power Unlimited has confirmed that online play will not feature in this year's forthcoming GTA: San Andreas.

"We have a lot of script writers working on GTA, and they use so many scenarios to build the story - it's impossible to do that in an online game, that problem has not been solved," -- Dan Houser, Creative Director, Rockstar Games

Houser went on to comment that it could be a possibility for games in the future.
